Hawaiian Canoe Club and Hawaiian Kamalii are cultural programs based out of Kahului Harbor on the island of Maui. Our mission is to perpetuate and preserve the art of Hawaiian canoe paddling through personal growth and character development rooted in traditional Hawaiian cultural values.

10am Ashes spread at Maliko. Paddle out with anything that floats
12pm Lunch and celebration at Hawaiian Canoe Club

We welcome everyone to paddle out as Zoe, Tiare, and Kaena spread Rick’s ashes at Maliko at 10am. People can do a Maliko Run in Rick’s honor after the ceremony. Then Hawaiian Canoe Club will host a lunch at the HCC hale at noon.

You can email photos and/or memories of Rick to stephmaui@yahoo.com. Per Zoe’s request we are putting together a book so the girls can know the impact their father had on people around the world.

We need your time, talent, or treasure to honor Rick. Below is a list of kuleana.

The 2013 Race Schedule features 7 regular season regattas and 12 Long-Distance Races. The regatta season culminates in the 2013 HCRA State Canoe Paddling Championships at Hanalei, Kaua’i on Saturday, August 4.

BLUESMITHS at a glance is an ocean-oriented clothing company. Hawaiian Canoe Club at a glance is a canoe club. But if you dig a little deeper you’ll find two organizations that are committed to our ocean and natural environment.

That’s why they’ve teamed up to install fencing and plant native plants at Kahului Harbor to control erosion and build back the natural sand dune.

Packing and Luggage
Keiki are allowed one personal bag. Tent can be packed in a second bag. LABEL ALL ITEMS including your bag. If you do not have a dry bag please pack all items in three 3M contractor trash bags. Pack three extra 3M bags for the return home.
